Farideh Lashai

Farideh Lashai was a leading Iranian artist known for her poetic and expressive approach to painting. Her early works, particularly her flower series, are distinguished by loose, gestural brushwork and subtle abstraction, bridging natural imagery with modernist sensibilities. Her work offers a contemporary interpretation of nature, not through literal depiction, but through atmosphere and suggestion. Rather than painting specific forms, she sought to evoke the essence and spirit of the natural world, creating symbolic and poetic impressions that reflect both inner reflection and a deep emotional connection to nature.
